Calibration tool: pyFAI-recalib

pyFAI-recalib is now obsolete. All feature provided by it are now available as part of pyFAI-calib.

calibration - DEPRECATED tool for refining the geometry of a detector using a reference sample and a previously known calibration file.

DESCRIPTION

usage: pyFAI-recalib [options] -i ponifile -w 1 -c calibrant.D imagefile.edf

Calibrate the diffraction setup geometry based on Debye-Sherrer rings images with a priori knowledge of your setup (an input PONI-file). You will need to provide a calibrant or a “d-spacing” file containing the spacing of Miller plans in Angstrom (in decreasing order). Calibrants available: Al, LaB6, TiO2, Pt, Ni, CuO, quartz, Si, mock, Si_SRM640e, LaB6_SRM660a, PBBA, cristobaltite, Si_SRM640, NaCl, AgBh, CrOx, LaB6_SRM660c, C14H30O, Si_SRM640a, Au, alpha_Al2O3, ZnO, Si_SRM640d, Cr2O3, Si_SRM640c, LaB6_SRM660b, Si_SRM640b, hydrocerussite, CeO2 or search in the American Mineralogist database: http://rruff.geo.arizona.edu/AMS/amcsd.php The –calibrant option is mandatory !

The main difference with pyFAI-calib is the way control-point hence DebyeSherrer rings are extracted. While pyFAI-calib relies on the contiguity of a region of peaks called massif; pyFAI-recalib knows approximatly the geometry and is able to select the region where the ring should be. From this region it selects automatically the various peaks; making pyFAI-recalib able to run without graphical interface and without human intervention (–no-gui and –nointeractive options). Note that `pyFAI-recalib` program is obsolete as the same functionality is available from within pyFAI-calib, using the `recalib` command in the refinement process. Two option are available for recalib: the numbe of rings to extract (similar to the -r option of this program) and a new option which lets you choose between the original `massif` algorithm and newer ones like `blob` and `watershed` detection.
